I can't switch the sides of the blade in game (forehand-backhand or backhand-forehand)

Hi Oguz,

This is something that you can practice in training.  Try to stay quite sure on to the table so that it makes it easier.  Watch the ball carefully so that you give yourself more time to react to which side the ball is coming to.

Do a lot of switching drills.  Look at the drills we show you in our Training Drills free download.

We also have a lesson in our Master Classes on Switching between BH & FH.
